Looking for some advice. The clutch on my NC30 started juddering a little bit about a week ago. The judder seems to have lessened, but I now get a noise like a very rough bearing rumble when I disengage the clutch in neutral. The noise goes away when I select 1st, but I also hear it when slowing down to stop while still in gear. The clutch isn't slipping. Any advice? Tx, James. p.s. The starter has also been making a bit of a rumble / rough sound recently. Could these be related?

rough clutch release bearing?

That was my first thought. However I may just be thick, but I couldn't find the release bearing indicated in the Haynes manual.

Take out the big circlip which holds the clutch lifter plate into the middle of the pressure plate, extract the lifter plate and turn it over- the release bearing is in a counterbored recess on the inside of the plate...
